DAILY TELEGRAPH HOMEBUILDING & RENOVATING AWARDS

Allies Farmhouse, a beautiful timber framed house situated on an old US airbase in Essex, is in contention for a 'Britain's Best Homes' Self-Build prize at the Daily Telegraph Homebuilding & Renovating Awards 2012. The house was designed by Cameron Scott of Timber Design Limited with Building Control provided by jhai. This new self-built timber frame farmhouse nestles perfectly among the Nissen huts and shelters that are the remains of the airbase that housed USAF 381st Bombardment Group during the second world war. Drawing on the shape and scale of the buildings surrounding it, this open, light and very airy family home fits in perfectly For further info about the awards visit: http://www.homebuilding.co.uk/magazine/selfbuildawards And for more on Allies Farmhouse and Timber Design visit: http://www.timberdesign.com/newbuild/gray/gray.htm Photos courtesy Cameron Scott
